Their songs are very controversial because of their influence on Hong Kong youth and hip-hop culture and attitude, even making references to Triad societies such as the 14K Triad.
LMF offers Hong Kong an alternative to the overpopularized sentimental sop of Cantopop. LMF remains one of the few, if not the only, well-known localized rap groups. While American hip-hop focuses on racism and political oppression, LMF highlights the economic oppression and social alienation faced by the lower class of Hong Kong, all coming from Hong Kong's overcrowded public housing estates. In essence, LMF uses Bruce Lee as a role model of a generation of Chinese youth.
Their last and final album, finalazy muthafucka, was released just before their breakup.
R.I.P.
LMF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
我願能 延續你的步韻
我願能 長存著你的聲音
我願能 你又更加接近
雖然只係一小撮人 一小隊船
唔淨止係為左一小個島 一小啖氣
而係一D歷史事實我地唔可以唔知唔可以忘記
有冇可能到幾時日幾日先至有我地團結嘅力量
完全靠自己做到國富民強
憑保釣o黎提醒我地要自強
究竟我地須要唔須要真英雄
抑或每個英雄背後充滿眼淚和傷痛
八仙嶺大火 燃燒係我記憶裡面
捨身成仁嘅你
親手將同學由煉獄到一個一個一個推返出o黎
係香港呢個冷漠自私嘅無情地
你地嘅犧牲 就好似一記耳光
人可以活得好渺小 渺小可以發光芒
可否撫心自問
我願能 延續你的步韻
我願能 長存著你的聲音
我願能 你又更加接近
一個好多人尊敬嘅電影人
佢將一生奉獻左俾佢信仰嘅神
佢係生存係為左一個使命
將福音帶俾佢身邊所有嘅生命
從一而終嘅婚姻感情
唔似D人隨便離婚攪埋D一夜情
成立藝人之家關懷朋友空虛心靈
佢將離開佢嘅愛你有無去見證
係唔係又可以襯呢個機會去 去懷念一個
你同我都好熱熟悉嘅一個 偶像
佢寫嘅歌 唔單單止影響我
仲有千千萬個唔知搖滾係乜o野嘅初哥
雖然曾經有人話過 你背叛左搖滾音樂精神
為名為利就去埋沒自己
其實你嘅孤獨 有邊個會知又有邊個會去理
可否撫心自問
我願能 延續你的步韻
我願能 長存著你的聲音
我願能 你又更加接近
The lyrics to LMF's song R.I.P. are reflective and poignant, exploring themes of remembrance, sacrifice, and heroism. The first verse speaks to the desire to continue someone's legacy and keep their memory alive, noting the small group of people who come together for a common cause, despite the odds. The lyrics touch upon the need to recognize and remember historical events, and the importance of staying true to one's identity and values.
The second verse pays tribute to a respected filmmaker who devoted his life to his faith and mission, and who was known for his solidarity and concern for others. The lyrics reference the artist's songwriting ability, which not only impacted the singer, but countless others who were inspired by his raw talent. The song also touches on the idea of betrayal and loneliness, as the artist was accused of losing touch with his musical roots in the pursuit of fame and profit.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of individuals who made sacrifices and defied the odds to uphold their values and beliefs. They encourage self-reflection and honoring the legacies of those who have come before us.
